When Gu Panpan woke up, Li Jiao had already washed and changed his clothes, and was ready, just sitting at the table, stirring a bowl of porridge. Li Jiao put down the bowl that looked out of heat, glanced at Gu Panpan, who was sitting on the sleeping seat at a loss, and turned to Kite and said, "Hurry up and wash with the princess, the porridge is just cold." Seeing Li Jiao open the curtain and leave the Qinglu with understanding, Gu Panpan exhaled his breath and smiled brightly at the kite.

"I'm so hungry, bring me the porridge." Gu Panpan said.

A bowl of porridge filled the hunger, and Gu Panpan squinted his eyes contentedly. Turning on the mirror to put on makeup, Luo Dai swept her light eyebrows, Gu Panpan groaned for a moment, and turned what she wanted to say into a soft sigh. The red skirt was the same color as the first time I saw that day, Li Jiao, who was standing outside the Qinglu, saw Gu Panpan who had finished dressing up, looking like Cui Qingyang's eyebrows and eyes that were still a little childish, his heart was throbbing, he stepped forward and took Gu Panpan's hand and said, "Follow me to the princess to say goodbye." ”

Gu Panpan was stunned for a moment, feeling that his wrist was obviously stiff, but he was holding it.

"Prince, isn't the crown princess my mother-in-law?" Gu Panpan cautiously followed Li Li's steps.

Li Li glanced sideways at Gu Panpan, couldn't help laughing, stopped, and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" Also, call me Yulang. ”

"That's your mother." Gu Panpan's fingers pinched his sleeve restlessly.

Li Jiao saw the meaning of Gu Panpan's words, he glanced left and right, all of them were his henchmen, and then he approached, almost sticking to the tip of Gu Panpan's nose, bluffing Gu Panpan's face red.

"The crown princess is not my biological mother, but the mother raised my compatriot's sister, and she is kind to our brothers and sisters, just like my mother." Li Li said.

Gu Panpan hummed lightly and smiled at Li Jiao.

Li Jiao personally helped Gu Panpan to get into the carriage, lowered his voice again, and said, "Don't worry about the side, everything in the East Palace, Aya and the concubine have helped us take care of it." Looking at Gu Panpan's hesitant eyes, Li Jiao said again: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

The Prince's Mansion is in order, showing the competence of the hostess.

Even if Gu Panpan was bold and careful, he still followed Li Jiao's side, looking at the orderly and serious appearance of the servants in the inner courtyard, he was afraid that he would make a mistake. Li Jiao occasionally turned his head, looked at her restrained appearance, and gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Concubine Wei is the most gentle and generous person, Gu Panpan worshiped in front of her, she recognized at a glance that it was the little lady who protected Li Shi that day, and hurriedly asked Li Wenhuan beside her to personally support Gu Panpan. Li Wenyuan is Li Li's sister, because of the early death of Wu Niangzi, she has been raised under the knees of Concubine Wei since she was a child. This daughter of the heavenly family raised her hands and feet calmly, and did not have half of her daughter's coquettishness.

Concubine Wei beckoned Gu Panpan to sit beside her, with her own familiarity, looked at Li Wenyu for a while, and then looked at Li Jiao, and sighed Although there is Cui Qingyang's extraneous branch, but the will of the saint to canonize the princess of the county has caused a sensation in the entire Chang'an City, and the whole world knows about the marriage between the East Palace and the Guanzhong clan. Thinking about the loss of their mother at a young age for the brother and sister, I couldn't help but have red eyes.

"If Sister Wu knows, she should be gratified." Concubine Wei said.

Gu Panpan learned the story of the Wu lady from Concubine Wei. From Concubine Wei's tone and expression, Gu Panpan could vaguely detect that the Wu family should have been the woman who walked into Li Heng's heart.

Where Puyang is located, the ancient emperor mound, the custom has always been heavy etiquette education. The Wu family grew up here since childhood, and none of the poets and writers were missing. In the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Wu sat on his father's affairs and filled the court. When disaster struck, families scattered, birds threw themselves into the forest, and they left their homes and went north alone, entering that unfathomable place. At that time, the crown prince Li Heng was only the king of loyalty, and on that day, the saint was fortunate to be loyal to the palace, and saw that there were few concubines in the palace of the king of Zhong, so he gave the palace maid to the king of Zhong, and the Wu family happened to be in the roster.

"The next year, the Wu family gave birth to Ah Jiu for His Royal Highness in the Shangyang Palace in the Eastern Capital. Ah Ji is the eldest son of His Royal Highness, and the Holy Lord likes this grandson very much. Concubine Wei said, raising her hand and pointing at Li Jiao, all the colors of a mother.

Li Jiao's milk name is Da Harvest, which is the pride and expectation of the saint Son of Heaven in the heyday of Kaiyuan, looking forward to the smooth wind and rain of the society and the prosperity of the people.

"It's a pity that Sister Wu went early, and Ah Jiao and Jie were still young when she left." Concubine Wei said.

Speaking of this old thing, Concubine Wei was full of pity.

Gu Panpan pursed her lips, smiled at Concubine Wei's words, and said, "Isn't it a blessing that Yulang and Sister Wen Yan can have the love of their mother?" After that, he turned his head to look at Li Jiao, who was sitting there drinking tea by himself. Gu Panpan thought about it, Li Jiao, who outsiders saw on weekdays, shared his father's worries, used his talents and virtues to recruit good names for the East Palace, and was a gentle and polite eldest son and eldest brother. When I look at it again today, I know that his mother is the daughter of a criminal minister, as the eldest son who has lost his biological mother, without the slightest help from his grandfather's family, in this complex court, how difficult it is to get to today's status and honor.

In the prosperity of Daming Palace, there is darkness and treachery that others dare not imagine.

When Gu Panpan was in the market, he heard a lot of rumors about the saint killing his third son on the day. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but twist the handkerchief in her hand a few times.

Coming out of Concubine Wei, Li Jiao looked at Gu Panpan's wilted appearance. He pinched her wrist through his sleeve, and his low voice was as gentle as ever, like a peaceful piano, "What's wrong with the princess?" ”

Gu Panpan pursed his lips and shook his head gently, and barely pulled out a smile at Li Jiao. She said: "I'm fine, the prince and the young man must have something to do, I'll go back by myself." ”

"The officials and officials are still married on the ninth day, and the king and the princess are newly married, where are there so many things to be busy?" Li Li said.

Seeing the person in front of him smiling kindly, Gu Panpan dodged his eyes and lowered his head to sort out the shawl. Different from the shyness when facing Ye Qian, in front of Li Li, Gu Panpan could remember the decades-old wine hidden by the shopkeeper of the wine shop that Gu Xixi frequented, and lingered around the wine jar with a slightly drunken smell.

She quietly pinched her sleeve.

"Okay, this king will have a banquet with people in a few days, and take leave with the princess in advance. Let's go back to the palace, how about meeting everyone in the palace? Li Li said to Gu Panpan with a smile.

As soon as a fragrant tea was held in his hand with the steaming heat, the woman in front of him distracted Gu Panpan. The Shen family is as plain as the moon, with a demure demeanor, holding Li Li's eldest son, Li Shi, the king of Fengjie County. Li Shi obviously remembered the relationship with Gu Panpan, but he was still young, so he might not be able to tell the difference between Gu Panpan and Cui Qingyang.

"Call the princess's mother." Shen was busy bowing his head to teach his young son.

Gu Panpan was anxious to speak, but he never thought that in a hurry, a good tea fell to the ground, and the precious porcelain bowl shattered to the ground. The whole room was shocked, Li Shi subconsciously hid in the crook of his mother's arm, Shen Shi looked up in surprise, regardless of the light blue skirt corner stained with tea, and the appearance of frowning moth eyebrows made Gu Panpan at a loss.

"Sister Shen, listen to me......" Gu Panpan's voice did not fall, and it happened that Li Li stepped into the threshold.

"The princess accidentally dropped the teacup?"

Li Jiao saved the scene with a word, Shen was indifferent to what was wrong, Gu Panpan stepped forward and held Shen's arm affectionately, she was a cheerful temper, a sister naturally made Shen completely relieved, unlike Gu Panpan, Shen, who was born in Wuxing's official eunuch family, was quiet, listening to Gu Panpan's chirping and croaking, I felt interesting, the two talked for a long time, that is, sisters are commensurate, very affectionate.

Gu Panpan raised his eyebrows, like the third day of March, the little daughter who smiled on the swing frame, and Shen lowered his head and smiled, the most gentle, as if with the quiet and distant bell of Hanshan Temple.

It just complements each other, and Li Jiao is happy to see this.

At the banquet, when it came to the joy of King Guangping's new marriage to the princess, the audience was full of congratulations. Ye Qian knows a layer better than others, and a simple eye exchange between him and Li Jiao means that both parties know it. Ye Qian and Yuan Zai sat under Li Jiao, followed by Cheng Zhiyuan from the Hanlin Academy, and Xu Xu, who had just been transferred from the local government and was in the Criminal Department. Speaking of which, Xu Qian was related to Ye Qian, and was deceived by Ye Qian's words, and he himself said that he got on Ye Qian's "thief ship". Li Li, the king of Jianning, also rubbed a seat, and Li Li had the intention to let him avoid the affairs of the DPRK and China, and he couldn't stand his brother's tricks.

During the banquet, there was a performance of Kabuki in Liyuan, and Li Jiao held the pipa in his arms on a whim, and made a song.

"My brother also likes music, and he has been influenced by the saints, but he has always liked to hold a shelf." Li Qi's words solved everyone's confusion.

Li Jiao put down the pipa, raised his hand and pointed at Li Qi, and said, "King Jianning talks a lot." He raised his eyes and looked at the full table of colleagues, and said, "The Supreme is happy, and we, as courtiers, naturally have to obey the preferences of the saints." As far as this king is concerned, pleasing the emperor is also the filial piety that grandchildren should have. ”

Li Longji also had the intention of moving to Shangyang Palace, and the biggest objection in the DPRK and the central government was still the holy driving proposed by former Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling, which ruined agricultural affairs in vain. A cold meal was fried repeatedly, and it became a ladder for Li Linfu to curry favor with the saint. The two capitals are in Your Majesty, just like two palaces, the world in all directions, and Your Majesty can go anywhere. On flattering Li Longji, Li Linfu has cultivated perfectly.

Li Heng was afraid that Li Jiao would disobey Li Longji's intentions in this matter, so he mentioned his life several times. Aya was the most afraid of things, and Li Jiao didn't dare to disobey his father's orders, so he could only agree, and he almost swore to the sky that he would never show his opposition to the prime minister in front of the saint.

"The emperor is not deaf or stupid, what does he not know about the old man?" Li Jiao muttered.

The sound of silk and bamboo on the banquet lingered, Yuan Zai looked at Li Jiao thoughtfully, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling to speak for the matter of the Holy Lord's transfer, and the King of Guangping should naturally go further, and Shangshu agrees with Your Majesty Xingdongdu." ”

Li Longji knows everything, he is old, and he just wants to watch the peace of the DPRK and the prosperity of the country.

"Wen Yu?" As soon as Li Jiao raised his eyes, he saw Ye Qian pursing his lips and didn't know what he was doing.

"Huh?" Ye Qian suddenly came back to his senses, a little embarrassed for a moment, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Brother Yuan is right. "Absent-mindedness, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

At that time, the banquet ended, and the guests dispersed, leaving only Li Jiao and Ye Qian to re-seat the table and put tea on the table.

"Wen Yu's thoughts, but it has something to do with the princess?" Li Li asked with a smile.

Ye Qian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The minister and the princess ......" did not say a word.

"Since this king has agreed to marry Pan Niang, he is naturally in the same boat with you now. This king and Wen Yu hate to see each other late, and I hope that you and I can be as honest with each other as you and Gu Jialangjun. Li Li said.

Looking at Ye Qian's puzzled eyes, Li Jiao clenched his fists and coughed lightly, and said, "Pan Niang and me, mention it." This king remembers that at the banquet of Princess Yuzhen, you also mentioned that Gu Jialangjun, that is, Pan Niang's brother, knows the Book of Changes. ”

Ye Qian was speechless for a while, he couldn't figure out Li Li's attitude.

"Maybe in Wen Yu's opinion, it is this king who has won people's love." Li Li said with a smile.

"The minister once crossed the love of brother and sister to the princess, but he did not dare to wade into the thunder pool. Marrying into the king of Guangping, no matter how ridiculous it is, is also the princess's own choice, the minister cannot control the princess, and the princess cannot influence the minister. You can't sin the princess for these past events. ”

Ye Qian's words were serious, with unquestionable toughness.

Li Jiao secretly sighed at the gentleman in front of him, and said with a smile: "The princess is the daughter of the Cui family, the princess of Guangping, who is personally crowned by the saint, how can it be absurd." ”

"Yes." Ye Qian said in understanding.

Tea instead of wine. Ye Qian stepped out of the Guangping Palace, and only then did he realize how he had agreed to Li Jiao to draft a note for him in favor of the Holy Lord's move to the Eastern Capital.

"Retribution, so that you always pit me, this time it is called the pit of King Guangping." Gu Xixi gloated, watching Ye Qian throw a green plum at him, "Dog, force your mouth to death." ”

It's really gnashing of teeth.
